If the capture mode is enabled on Media Express, then the outputs are basically E-E from the inputs. No processing, no compressing, no reclocking. What you put in is what you get out. If you press capture, what gets recorded to disk will match the compression settings set in the application. While recording the output is still E-E and is pre-process..so yes, it's a real passthrough.
Once you click the playback tab and play back, then the computer will decode the prores file and play it out as uncompressed at the same bit depth as the source file.
